"The cover-up is already running. Karoline Leavitt, Stephen Chung, and the rest of the White House noise machine have lied to the media for years about Trumps condition, and never once been held to account," Wilson explained.
"Genuine power doesnt need to be advertised this loudly," Wilson wrote. "The frantic, escalating, almost pornographic self-celebration is the tell. Its a confession in plain sight. The man building his mausoleum while hes still alive is the man who knows hes running out of road."
"So here we are. A 79-year-old man, swollen of extremity and bruised of hand, looking like the victim of a zombie bite by denying it until he turns, shuffling between Walter Reed and a half-built ballroom nobody asked for, with an approval rating in free fall, a base finally asking quiet questions about grocery prices, a press corps too cowed to say out loud what they all know, and a clock, biological, cultural, and political, that he cannot bully into stopping," Wilson wrote.
"He is not coming back from this," Wilson added. "There is no third act. There is only the long, undignified, makeup-smeared decline of a man and a movement whose moment has passed, narrating itself ever more loudly into an ever emptier hall, a frowzy barfly of a man, replaying past glories that never happened and hoping you wont notice the bad wig."

(2,669 posts)are waiting for his demise also.......they can hardly wait to put someone from 2025 in the white house. Same agenda, but not having to worry about someone who goes off the rails every day/night, and who is beholden to Putin.......
The only reason they haven't done something about him already, is fear of losing his 70+ Million member CULT....

(24,490 posts)A guy "like" Rubio...meaning, a stiff, a dude with zero personality...could "conduct himself in a presidential manner" and STILL aggressively pursue every speck of the "Project 2025" agenda. And, without the daily clown show, America probably would not notice while most of the damage was being done.

(8,037 posts)THAT'S what we should be doing, in addition to the messaging and push back we're finally seeing. Once the thing gets published, spread it far and wide so you have to try to find a place to hide from knowing it. Too many thought they already knew what was in it and agreed with it on the Maga side. They should have read it and they'd know why they're in the mess they're in now. We read it and screamed bloody murder... but again, the points that got pushed the most Maga agreed with. Shame on them!
Once we get this train upright on the track again, we need to pass laws regarding all the PACS and "think tanks" like Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch. There are so many on the RWNJ side you can't throw a ball without hitting one. We need to find a way to outlaw possible treasonous behavior from occurring without killing the 1st Amendment outright. But I do believe we're going to have to have some caveats put in at some point.
I think it is fair to say at this point, that is just a dream or fantasy from this group of Dem "Do Nothing" Politicians.......and has been for decades and decades.......I can cite a bunch of occasions in the past history that proves my point.....going back 46+ years.

(2,669 posts)times since 1980 for the Dems to take a MAJOR stand........., and they didn't:
They were walking down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and were oblivious to the herd of charging elephants....
PUN INTENDED.........
And Colorado Dems are some of the worst: Bennet, Hickenlooper, DeGette......Governor Polis is a DINO, and is proving it now that he is a lame duck Governor........
All of them are helping to turn our Blue State at least purple, maybe even Red......

(28,687 posts)...and the Powell manifesto. It's been their playbook for 55 years, and WE (the Democrats) haven't responded. Now we have no choice BUT to respond WITH FORCE and tenor. If we lay down for this, and "look forward, not backward," the American democracy is done for.

(2,669 posts)We have no idea what they are doing in the shadows, behind Trump's psychotic outbursts ever day.......I can imagine it is a ton of stuff behind smoke and mirrors, letting Trump's daily distractions take attention away from all that is being done behind closed doors..........
When Trump is gone, they will continue the 2025 Agenda, on the hush hush......
The fact that the Mainstream News Media is practically all owned/operated by Uber Rich Republicans, is to their distinct advantage, and exactly the reason Hitler took control of the German Media as one of his first moves.....
